The Experience

How Our Group Expeditions Work

Every group departure is built around three things: acclimatization, camaraderie, and expert guidance.

Acclimatize at Your Pace

Rest periods are built in between each hike, giving your body time to adjust to the altitude before you take on the next summit.

Climb Alongside Fellow Adventurers

With a small group of up to 13, you'll share the trail with fellow hikers and mountaineers — swapping stories, motivation, and the summit high together.

Guided by Local Experts

Professional, knowledgeable local mountain guides are with you at every step, keeping safety the top priority from trailhead to summit.

The Route

Your Day-by-Day Itinerary

Four days, two summits — here's exactly what to expect from meeting point to summit.

The Details

What's Included

Travel
All ground travel from the meeting point in Mexico City and back.

Lodging
A hotel room in Puebla Centro

Meals & Water
All meals, trail box lunches, and water throughout the expedition — except breakfast and lunch on Day 2, your rest day in Puebla Centro, so you're free to explore local restaurants on your own.

Climbing Gear
Helmet, trekking poles, harness, and crampons.

Swag
